Here are some frugal events for your consideration, as the March school holidays come to an end. And today is Holi, the festival of colour (also known as the festival of love). May it remind us to celebrate love, friendships, and the beauty and colours of life.

*Please note this is a partial listing. And there are other free/frugal events happening elsewhere, especially at parks, museums, libraries, and community centres.

Make it a fun and active weekend as you try different workouts and get moving with like-minded enthusiasts! You can also watch world-class body building, pro wrestling, parkour, kickboxing and silat competitions. PAssion Card members can join in workout sessions at discounted rates.

Unscene: Noise Invasion Festival 2019 will showcase an alternative scene for Singaporean urban culture and music, bringing underground culture overground to the masses. The festival will be taking over the rooftop carpark of Parklane Mall (Selegie) for one night only, filling the usually untrodden space with fresh sounds and edgy visuals.

Nickelodeon Fiesta 2019 features playful Nickelodeon activities that are inspired by Singapore’s rich history and traditional trades. Look forward to game booths and activities where kids and families can get a feel of local nostalgic trades such as street cobblers, the kacang puteh man, ice cream seller or the traditional baker.

The inaugural Five-footway Festival will re-create old street scenes and bring back characters from the past – from samsui women, night soil collectors, to the mata-mata in shorts. You will get a chance to snap Instagram-worthy wefies with them while racing in clogs, or snacking on sweets and snacks well loved by our grandparents.

Get ready for some good old-fashioned, Singapore-style fun with your family at SAFRA Family Day Out Prawning Challenge 2019!
